How to unlock the Without A Paddle achievement in Deep Rock Galactic - Definitive Guide

While the TA ratio of this achievement is high, this is actually an incredibly easy achievement to get.

The first thing you need to do is to set up an elimination mission (Yellow symbol with crosshairs) and set it for a solo mission. I believe you need to play a few missions before elimination missions are unlocked, so if you aren't seeing any you may need to complete more missions in the first assignment quest line. To make this easier on yourself, go with the lowest difficulty. NOTE: PLAYERS IN THE COMMENTS SECTION HAVE STATED THAT YOU NEED TO REMOVE ALL OF YOUR PERKS FOR THIS TO PROPERLY UNLOCK!

Once you are in, find one of the giant eggs. They should be able to be spotted on your scanner. These eggs spawn a dreadnought when attacked. Once you find one, instead of shooting at the egg, make sure you empty out your two primary guns (Flamethrower, Gatling gun, shotgun, pistols, etc.) This does not include your other special weapons, such as the platform gun, zipline, or grenades. If you are playing with a controller the weapons will be left and right on the D-Pad, not the weapons you access by pressing up and down. Once you are completely out of ammo with both your primary and secondary guns, you can attack the egg with either a grenade, satchel charge, drills, or pickaxe. As soon as you attack the egg and cause it to burst, the achievement should pop for you.

I tried this a few times on the first Dreadnought of the game and wasn't able to get it. It did pop the first time I tried spawning the second Dreadnought on a mission though. Worth a try if anyone is having issues

Haven't been able to get this. Tried with two different characters, both new and original guns, emptied all ammo for everything even grenades. Not sure whats going wrong.

You have to pop the Dreadnaught egg IMMEDIATLEY after you fire the last of your ammo. That's what got it to pop for me. Xbox One X.

Won't pop for me, even if I pop the egg right after.

Finally got it. I only got rid of my grenades, and then quickly depleted my secondary and then primary. Had Bosco blow up the egg with a rocket. I also took off all of my perks. I feel like I did this a few times and it only worked when I didn't have them on.

After a million failed tries following all the recommendations posted here, I managed to got it by playing a hosted game with friends by myself, instead of a solo play game. Second and last Dreadnought, I did emptied both guns and grenade and had Bosco shoot a missile to the egg as soon as I'd shoot the last bullet.

Glad you got it, it's unfortunate that it appears to be buggy or may have changed since the subsequent game updates. Anyone else reporting their experiences would be welcome.

I figured it out. Take off your perks and it will give it to you. I don't know what it is, but perks seem like they will mess up some of the achievements.

CONFIRMED! Take off you perks.

(Used Scout. Removed perks. Emptied out grenades flares and shotgun, leaving rifle. Emptied rifle, and immediately had BOSCO shoot a missile at the egg, while simultaneously power hitting it with the pickaxe. Unlocked right after.)

Glad that ended up working for you guys. Me getting the achievement immediately after taking them off was suspicious but couldn’t confirm since it was such a weird achievement.

Got it to work first try. But I basically did EVERYTHING everyone suggested.
Easy, solo, took off all perks. Shoot off all my ammo then popped the first egg. Didn't work, ran to the second egg, popped it. Achievement clicked immediately.

I just got it first try WITH perks on, so either that doesn't matter or it has been patched. Just empty both guns on left and right of dpad. Like other have said, use Bosco to fire rocket at the egg.

I just got this today with nothing special. I went in solo, mined 80 nitra, dropped a supply pod, emptied my ammo pool, power attacked the egg, and the achievement popped.

CONFIRMED: I unlocked this today, at 0.18% rarity. I had all 5 perks still on my Scout. So it seems it's no longer necessary to remove them.
The achievement unlocked about 5 seconds after I had Bosco rocket the egg. I then called in a resupply pod.
I even finished the mission, on hazard 1, of course.
19th thumbs up on the guide.

Have Bosco rocket the egg by ...
holding LB, aiming & pulling LT, ...
to concur with an earlier comment.

You can do it solo in Hazard 1 :
- With any class, select a dreadnought mission
- Find one cocoon, empty both your primary and secondary weapons
- Open the cocoon with your pickaxe
- Achievement pops-up

Can be easily done in solo mode.
